Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. If you’re dealing with movement joints with sealant missing and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints alike.

Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Shipton Bellinger tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
FAQs: Shipton Bellinger
Is Shipton Bellinger off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Grateley station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Do you need mastic sealing in Shipton Bellinger?
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Peter can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
